So, my buddy let's his wife take the Baja out... and before she knows it, there is a hissing sound and some steam and the smell of oil. She turns around, gets right back to the marina and just leaves it for the Mercruiser techs, who -- I am certain -- got one good look at her and probably wished her motor needed fixin'!. But, they agree to look over the engine ASAP. It's a Blue Merc 500 EFI engine, so it's from the racing line, circa 2007. She's a 1980, DD, blonde.
Anyway, she strolls over to the snack shop for an ice cream cone, and wanders back to the dock to see what they've found. She is eating the ice cream rather teasingly, getting a little on her lips, probably in hopes of getting a good deal from the techs, or at least an honest assessment!
After only looking at the engine for five minutes, the head Merc tech pulls his head out of the bilge, looks over at her and says, "It looks like you blew a seal," to which she replies, "Nah, it's just ice cream".
Happy April 1st.
